Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 2235326, member: 1423"] Agree. And one big reason we're easy to defend is that we're jump-shooters with little, if any, low block offense. That's partly recruiting, and certainly injuries have hurt us also. At any rate, the scouting on SU is simple: pack the lane and stick to their shooters. On the few nights when we can't miss, we win. But usually the formula works and we struggle against the better teams in the league and, occassionally when our jumpers aren't falling, we get blown out. It's been ugly to watch, but there's no mystery. Recruit bigs that can score and rebound (Sidibe may be an improvement), and guards that can shoot and penetrate. That will give us two dimensions, a drastic improvement over the jumpshooting teams we've been watching the last few years (and yes, even our FF team was that way -- we just got lucky because our guards got incredibly hot in the tournament).
